Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 20:30, so plan your arrival accordingly—late arrivals may need to make special arrangements.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this B&B isn't suitable.
- Limited on-site dining beyond breakfast — There's no restaurant for dinner; guests mention walking to Fiddler's Restaurant or the Frisco Popcorn Factory (a 20-minute walk) for other meals.
- Small property, only nine rooms — With a handful of rooms, the B&B can book out quickly and may not suit those wanting a large hotel's facilities.
